Some events that can take place in and outside of the corporate world are: attempting to communicate in a noisy room. Active listening also comes in handy when communicating with a person that has a different dialect or accent that is new to the language used to communicate. Tom Cummins teaches the importance of active listening especially when we find ourselves in a communication that is on the brink of confrontation. These situations do require more listening than talking. One will have to apply a strategic, and perhaps even an emotionally intelligent response to whom your listening to.
